Thanks for the link to another option! Though frankly, I don't like their design: makes you think they're trying to trick customers into thinking they're an official IRCC service. Not to mention their fees are higher. Also, what do you mean "CIC is now rolling out"? GCMS has been there for a while.

Yeah, there was something about Tuesday, too. Maybe it being one of those days is a necessary but insufficient condition here?

There's still time left til the end of the day, maybe they'll send out something... Though it's Thursday. I heard the PPR days are Wednesday and Friday?

Thank you for your answer! It's decided then, I should leave Alberta for a better time. I'm not really counting on getting a job in my profession, I don't think that's likely. We'll see, I guess.

That was fast! Happy for you :D Did they explain what happened, or just sent the PPR?

Well, actually, you can leave the next day after landing, if you want to. It's not advisable though. But to enter Canada again, unless you're travelling by car, you'll need the PR card. So the two options are: 1. ask somebody to get you PR card for you and mail to your current address. This is...

Note that the requirements are different for different countries, and follow the specific ones relevant to you. For example, they didn't need anything from my University as the documents had to be verified by apostille.

Sorry, just updated my last post - you could also try calling them. Don't worry, I think you'll get it pretty fast, since your file is RFV and it's their mistake.

Hmmm. Then the other option would be CSE and/or calling them. Either way I think it's obvious it's a mistake on their part, and you don't need to worry too much. In fact, I think, once you resolve this issue, you'll get your actual PPR. Yeah, about calling, you're an outlander, right? The...

Huh. Well there must be something, or else why are they charging those extra $27... Aha, just checked their website. Seems like the $50 version will contain the forms you've sent to IRCC and will be the "complete file from CIC", while the $23 version is "file as is". My $23 notes do not have the...

Huh. Maybe the agent just selected the wrong letter template, or something? I mean, they're not typing each of them, obviously, maybe he clicked somewhere in the wrong place... You could write to the email the letter came from and ask them.

Also note that you only need to send the passport if you're not from a visa-exempt country. If you are, you need to send a copy of your passport, or maybe now something else, after the introduction of eTA.

Yeeeah, I just need to land that first job))) Trust me, it's not as impressive as it can sound. But thanks! :)

Oh dear, I can imagine how stressed you are! I read a story about a guy whose COPR and passport was for some reason delivered to another address on his street. Could that be what happened to you? Do they have any record of where the package was last?

Oh wow, that's such an ego boost, thanks)) I'm a physicist, actually. But after graduating I was mostly working with data (along with doing the technical work that is always taking, like, 30% of a researcher's time, alas). So I decided to move in the direction of IT (but not too far in that...

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood) GIS, as in, geographic information systems.

I want to do a 2 year postgraduate diploma. I wanted to do a bit of a career shift, and this plan coincided with my immigration plans. So I'm hoping to get a new career and a Canadian degree out of this.

Congrats, NaomiA! Happy for you! To be fair, they do have the $23 option, you can choose either one when you apply. I'm not sure what is the difference between them, though. There was something about a comment/analysis from their experts, or something? Do you have that in your notes?

Haha, well, we all like to overanalyze IRCC's procedures, it's like a masochistic hobby)) But actually, I do think you're right in that the cutoff is unlikely to drop below 450 this year, unfortunately :(

Ooh, another outlander in progress! It's getting more interesting :)
